House of Gucci: The first images of Lady Gaga as Patrizia Reggiani, the "Italian black widow"

Patrizia Reggiani habla de esa familia tan poderosa y particular que es sinónimo de moda, de estilo, de glamour, los Gucci. Se ven modelos en la pasarela y se escucha el hit inoxidable de Blondie “Heart of Glass”. Y entonces aparece en escena Lady Gaga quien, tras su papel en Nace una estrella, convenció al mundo de que además de una gran cantante es una gran actriz. Es ella, justamente, la encargada de darle vida a la famosa “viuda negra italiana” en House of Gucci, el film de Ridley Scott que acaba de dar a conocer su primer adelanto.

Adam Driver, con esos clásicos anteojos grandes que solían usarse en los setenta, interpreta a Maurizio, el nieto de Guccio, el fundador de una de las marcas de alta costura más importantes del mundo.

En estas primeras imágenes que pueden verse en el trailer de la película se hace un recorrido por los diferentes acontecimientos que marcarán la vida de los personajes. Como se lee en las letras que acompañan el adelanto, se trata de una historia real, donde el dinero, la familia, el poder, la traición, el sexo, la lealtad, el escándalo, la ambición y un asesinato son partes cruciales de la trama.

The film is based on the book La Casa de Gucci: a sensational story of murders, madness, glamor and greed ”, by Sara Gay Forden, and her thread follows the line of Reggiani, an Italian young woman who falls in love with the grandson of the famous designer,and later ends up in prison after leading a conspiracy to kill him.In short, it shows the story of this family that is splashed by a crime.In the trailer, in addition to the accents of the protagonists, the careful costume that not only portrays an era but an empire in fall.Of glamor, to infidelity, of infidelity to spite, of spite of the murder.

While the film, written by Roberto Bentivegna, had the cooperation of the Gucci firm -which gave full access to its archives for the costumes -not all family members are happy or satisfied with this project.In fact, the project took years to come true for this reason.

Months ago the first images of Lady Gaga had circulated with Adam Driver, with a retro style that aroused fury on social networks.In a snowy mountain landscape with a white skin hat and dressed entirely black, while the actor smiled at the camera with a tissue and clothing high tones in light tones."Lord and Mrs. Gucci," Gaga wrote next to her photo in a post on her Instagram account.Gaga was also portrayed walking through the streets of Milan with a wedding dress, with lace, a long tail and Manolo Blahnik shoes with diamond buckle.

The real plot

The thriller is about the famous family dynasty and tells the story of Reggiani, sentenced to 26 years in prison for conspiring in the murder of his ex -partner, who was shot out of his office in Milan in 1995. It was in that year when the GucciThey became a magazine cover not because of their designs but for a murder, for a fact that had macabre and dark elements that stained everything, just before Tom Ford went out to the rescue of the brand.

Patrizia, daughter of a waitress and an entrepreneur, was not part of the Italian elite, but at age 20 her life took a turn.It was at a party when she met the heir of Gucci, who was delighted with her carelessness.This romance did not have the approval of Rodolfo Gucci, son of Guccio, but anyway he was formalized at a wedding in 1973;Later the two heirs of her, Allesandra and Allegra would arrive.Together with Patrizia, Maurizio wanted to take control of the family business, something they achieved.Later, after fights and infidelities, the couple dissolved.While the separation was in 1985, only in 1991 they were officially divorced. The woman has since receives more than 1 million dollars a year.

Tras la separación, Reggiani acusó a Paola Franchi, la nueva pareja de Maurizio, de querer quedarse con la fortuna, al tiempo que no quería que la dejaran de llamar “la señora Gucci” y por eso decidió orquestar un plan para asesinar a su exmarido. Aconsejada por una vidente y con la colaboración de un sicario y un chofer, Patrizia logró su cometido. El 27 de marzo de 1995, el heredero recibió 4 disparos en la espalda cuando subía las escaleras para entrar a su oficina; ella dijo ese día: “Humanamente, lo siento. Pero desde un punto de vista personal, no puedo decir lo mismo”.

What followed was a media trial that ended after arduous investigations with five detainees, including Reggiani.While she was sentenced to 26 years, she was prey to 16. When she regained her freedom she became news again: first for a particular answer (when asked why she had hired a hitman to kill her husband, she replied that she had no good view andHe did not want to fail) and for the famous life financial compensation that he receives and that, despite having ordered to kill her husband, the judge understood that it was not sufficient reason to withdraw it.

With that last item their daughters do not agree, who try to reverse it, but they have not yet been successful.
